“I was walkin’
down the street, Yo! To get something to eat, Yo! But everything I’d see, Yo!
Looked like it had meat, Yo!” (Vegan Rap by 9 days)
Hello Everyone,
On Sat Sept 6th I attended the 30th
Annual Veggie Fest. Happy 30th!!
It was a fantastic event. I loved
the location, the food, the people and the sunny day. The Vegetarian Food Festival was held at The
Harbourfront Centre. This was actually
my first time attending the festival. I
want to say, I cannot wait until next year.
It was truly a great festival, and admission is free. If you can attend this festival in the
future, do so.
As a first timer, you always are thinking where do I
start? LOL. I can tell you, I started in
the museum. I looked at the history,
walked through the exhibit; saw the cookbooks but all I was thinking about was:
Where is Yam Chops? LOL. This is a very
big event. It has approx... 130 vendors,
so my mind was racing to find them. I had to have that Tuna Less Tuna!!! Guess
what? Not only did I find them but they were kind enough to give me a bowl of
their amazing Tuna Less Tuna. IT WAS SO
GOOD!!!!! THANK YOU YAM CHOPS. Yam Chops
is a must see at Veggie Fest. If you can check out their store, you will
understand my obsession. www.yamchops.com
Walking through the festival, I noticed a line
up. Soul to Bowl, was giving out samples
of their “creamy” Vegan Alfredo and Mac n Cheese sauces. I have been looking for a healthy option to
Mac n Cheese and I have to say, Kailey nailed it. It was really good. This sweet girl not only won my stomach but
she won my heart. I got an opportunity
to speak with her about her company. The
sauces are a tribute to her mom. Now, I
honestly do love her sauces. The fact her
mom was Italian, has nothing to do with my recommendation. LOL You must check
out her sauces. www.soultobowlsauces.com Kailey, it
was such a pleasure meeting you.
It is always hard to find a dessert that tastes good
and is healthy. Bloomer’s was nice
enough to give me samples of their Kleinurs. They actually looked for me to
give me some samples. Thank you, so much
for your hospitality. I enjoyed my
treats. Kelly, your family and friends
did a great job while you baked. Check
out Bloomer’s for healthy snacks. www.bloomersto.com
Now, I need to give a shout to the Neil Brothers. Your tortilla chips were everywhere. Ha-ha. I
got to eat them all day. They are
delicious with dips. If you see these
chips while grocery shopping, make sure to add them to your purchase. You will not be disappointed.
I am looking forward to next year. It was a great festival. The organizers did a fantastic job. Thank you Steph, for your kind welcome! Check out the Vegetarian Food Festival, boys
and girls. I am glad I attended. www.vegfoodfest.com
See you next year!
Until next time, remember, “to always just be
yourself, it will eventually one day pay off…” ©justbeingmeluvuholts
